PHS STUDENTS HONORED

11TH GRADERS WIN COUNTY VOLUNTEER AWARD

---------------------------------------------

Congratulations to Juniors Kate Rosen and Michael Mulay for co-winning the 2010 L.A. County Arts Commission Student Volunteer of the Year Award. Together, Michael and Kate volunteered for upwards of 70 events, logging over 300 hours in four short months during the Ford Ampitheatre's summer season. "Their seamless integration into the Ford staff proved to be a considerable value to the Arts Commission and to the County," states Bill Berry, Events Service Manager at the Ford. "Michael and Kate also showed their leadership by working with each new volunteer throughout the season...Michael and Kate brought a veritable "youthquake" to the Ford volunteer staff." The pair were honored at a luncheon awards ceremony at the Grand Hall of Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on April 12th.
